### LADIES OF LIFTING - LIFTER AND SPECTATOR INFO ###
This weekend we have the first ever ladies only novice comp right here at PTC. Another big day of lifting with plenty of new lifters stepping up for the first time - well done to all of you.
Our novice comps are designed to give you an amazing first experience on the platform. Our objective is to create events that allow you to achieve the best results by providing the ultimate competition experience.
Below are some of the things you need to be aware of, please read. Any questions please e-mail me back.
## PERSONAL EQUIPMENT (FOR COMPETITORS)
You are required to ensure your PE is legal. Please bring with you to the weigh-in to have it checked out by officials.
- Soft suits required (not required for the novice comp but shorts/t-shirts minimum). No compression gear like skins.
- T-shirt on squat and bench required.
- Knee high socks required on deadlift.
- Shoes to be worn at all times.
- Wrist wraps allowed on squat and bench.
- Knee sleeves only for squat - no knee wraps allowed.
- Belts allowed.
If you need anything we have Loaded Lifting gear available here at PTC.
## SCHEDULE
Date: Sunday 6th August 2017
Competition: 3-lift (Powerlifting)
Lifting will start at 9am sharp on Sunday.
** NOTE: Session and flight info will be released Sat after the weigh-ins. **
WEIGH-INS
24-hour weigh in will be available on August 5th from 9am to 5pm. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND coming to the 24-hour weigh-in to help us get things running smooth.
Same day weigh-ins will be available between 7:30am and 8:30am – STRICT.
When you come to the weigh-in you must have pin heights for the bench and COBRA monolift plus your opening attempts. We will have officials available to weigh-you in and people around to help with pin heights if required.
## WARM-UP AREA
The warmup area is behind the platform. At the weigh-in you will receive 2 red bands. One for you and one for your coach/handler. Anyone not wearing their arm band will be removed from the warmup area, so please tell your family and friends to remain at the front and watch the comp. If you are lifting of course there is no need to wear the arm band, but have it in your bag. Please don’t be in an embarrassing position of being asked to leave the warm up area (tell your friends).
We have plenty of equipment available and we just have one rule…. It’s simple. Respect it. Don’t throw weight plates around, use the weight trees, and put the gear back when you’re finished with it. If you are found to be disrespectful you will be warned and then asked to leave if it continues. This goes with any facet of the competition. We will not tolerate bullshit and nor should the lifters. Powerlifting is a team sport played by individuals. That means back there it’s a team…. Help and support each other and be there for one another. If we can do this, EVERYONE WINS.
## RULEBOOK
For most of the competition we use the GPC rulebook. Being a novice comp you may be unfamiliar with a lot of them but it pays to know them! The GPC rule book is available at http://gpcaustralia.com/index.php/join-gpc/gpc-australia-rule-book
Apart from that remember you’re here to have a good time and hit some numbers on the platform. If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch. See you all at the weigh-ins!
Please tell your family and friends about the comp… the more spectators we have the more exciting it will be!
